REVIEW
In Greek mythology, Penelope waited decades for her husband Odysseus to return from the Trojan War. You won't have to wait nearly so long to be served at this restaurant, even if it's crowded with business folk and the pre-theatre scene. Staff are quick and friendly, and the place is cavernous. Ceilings are high, with white stuccoed walls and plants hanging everywhere -- so authentic you'll feel like one of Jason's Argonauts after a shot or two of ouzo. The menu includes a vast selection of hot and cold appetizers, the classic Greek soup Fasolada, various souvlakis, a famous roast lamb, and a surprisingly large number of seafood dishes. All entrees come with vegetables, rice or potatoes, and bread. Penelope's Platter, suitable for large groups of Olympic-size eaters, includes nearly all the menu favourites. With Greek music playing in the background, you'll want to savour the last bit of tzatziki on your plate before heading off to the theatre, conveniently located a few steps away. Source: toronto.com
